Dear mr Parker

[quote=613]

Your point being what? I made a statement which I understand to be true. How does your comments about Fenty walking away come into the equation?

Tell me, if JF wrote his loans off and gave the club his "investment" would it be OK for people to slag him off because he didnt want to run the club anymore?

Parker put in what he promised didnt he? Nothing less than what he promised. So why is he fair game for abuse?

Unless you know different in which case I'm all ears.[/quote 1) sholder to sholder springs to mind, what does that mean.

Agreed to fund until the end of next season was also a term used. Seriously, where does all this name calling of Mike Parker get anyone? How much did Mr Parker put into the club? If I offered to put in the same but at the end of 2 years Id walk away, you'd still take it wouldnt you?

Unless he made  promises he didnt keep, then I don't understand why he is being abused.

Chris.  John as you know gets more than his share of abuse don't you think?  We have some narrow minded posters on here and other boards. You need thick skin as perhaps you've already guessed from your involvement on the Trust Board.  I feel from your take on all this that you are in the MP camp.  I don't agree with some of the comments that have been posted too.  Best ignored most of them IMHO.  UTM!

There doesn't need to be a MP camp and JF camp just a single GTFC camp. What has happened has happened and we make make the best of the cards we are dealt. Everyone has their own opinion on what is best for the club regardless of personal agendas. I don't know if Chris agrees with me but when I joined the Trust board it was because I, like 99.9% of fans do not have the financial clout of the Fenty's and Parker's of this world but still feel they have something to give to GTFC. We do all want the same thing and there is no need to be underhand about things.

I'm not in any camp, Steve.

I actually wish we weren't reliant upon anyone.

Believe me Wrabs.  Nothing underhand from me.  Just an observation and opinion.  Others have them on here so will I.

I dont appreciate people trying to second guess my allegiences frankly, particularly given my only true allegience is to GTFC (on this matter).

Only Mr Fenty and Mr Parker know what went on and I am sure if we asked them both they would have entirely different answers. Which would be the truth? Well we supporters will never know will we. What we know is that it's GTFC that is piggy in the middle as two rich men squabble.

Re if it was my money, sadly it's just a theoretical question as I don't have that kind of money so it's pointless me even replying to the question. However, what I can say is that I wouldnt set a budget without ensuring funds were there to meet it. I'm still unsure how we are where we are when the budget was set, agreed and funded, but then thats a different thread isn't it.
